The wind is sluggish and the water is cold...... No, no, you can't read this, this is unlucky!

Xia Hongsheng hurriedly held back the words that he was about to blurt out, stretched out his head to see, the sky was slightly bright, the morning breeze was cold, he was alone in the carriage, there was a groom in front of him who was driving the car, it was the person sent by Li Shixuan, he didn't talk much, he felt cold and cool, and he was a typical master. Qi Yong sat next to him, and the two of them, including the guards who rode around the carriage, were dressed as family guards, and the carriage looked like ordinary merchants' carriages. There are not many guards, only about five or six people, but each of them is selected from the special combat team, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Everyone went out of the city gate, and they didn't go far, when they heard Qi Yong say outside: "Childe, your friends are in front. ”

Xia Hongsheng opened the curtain and found that there were a lot of gentlemen in the Hongwen Pavilion, as well as Wei Shuyu and others, who were already waiting there.

The carriage stopped, Xia Hong got out of the carriage and walked forward.

And all the people saw him, and they dismounted.

"Jingshi, brothers really envy you, you can be sent by Your Majesty so early to contribute to the country, our brothers are too late!" Cheng Chumo looked at Xia Hongsheng with envy in his eyes, he is also serving in the army now, but he is just a captain, so he admires Xia Hongsheng for being able to rely on his own ability to reach his current height.

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "You can pull it down, this is a business trip, sent out to work, what kind of assignment!" Those who are sent to be a party leader are called expatriates, and we can only call them business trips! ”

Although Cheng Chumo didn't understand much, this didn't prevent him from showing his farewell, and when he raised his hand to the back, his younger brother Cheng Chumo squeezed over from behind with a wine jar: "Hurry up, just hot wine!" ”

The corners of Xia Hongsheng's mouth twitched, this early in the morning, wine?!

"Come and make me a bowl of warm-up, it's early in the morning, I'm freezing to death!" Yu Chi Baolin came over. raised his hand and took the wine jar from Cheng Chuliang's arms.

One person poured a bowl of hot wine, and seeing the way these people kept sniffing, Xia Hongsheng was moved and picked up the bowl. said: "Thank you for coming to see you off today, rest assured, the younger brother is just going to solve a little thing for the court and His Majesty." If you go fast, it will take more than a month, and if you are slow, you will be able to return with merit. At that time. The younger brother invites all the brothers to come to their homes, cook the food with their own hands, and thank you brothers! ”

"Brother Xian is going, you need to be more careful on the road, although everything at home is at ease, there are brothers, no one dares to make a mistake in front of the door!" Cheng Chumo replied loudly.

"Jingshi, this time, although Ke doesn't know very well, he can guess a thing or two. Take extra care. I hope that Jun will establish meritorious service as soon as possible and return with meritorious service! Li Ke also raised the bowl in his hand: "Come, all the brothers have done this wine, I wish Jingshi a smooth journey!" ”

"!"

Everyone looked up and drank it all and laughed.

Xia Hongsheng boarded the carriage again in the laughter of everyone and headed northwest.

From Chang'an City to the northwest to Shuofang, there is a distance of more than 1,000 miles. Xia Hongsheng doesn't need to go to Shuofang, he can go to Xiazhou. But it will take many days along the way, and we must hurry up and get there as soon as possible.

There were no accidents on the way. Walking along the official road, it is not a troubled time now, and there are usually few robbers who block the road. Although I told my sister-in-law yesterday that there would be people from post stations around the country to receive me, but actually. In order to keep it as secret as possible, Xia Hongsheng pretended to be the son of a family along the way, and did not reveal his identity.

A few days later, Xia Hongsheng and his entourage had already arrived at the boundary of Xiazhou, and the cool master brother who hadn't opened his mouth a few times along the way still looked back very coolly and said, "My lord, it's here." ”

Xia Hongsheng stretched out his head. I saw a line of city walls not far ahead, and there were more soldiers on it, more than the soldiers of other towns I saw along the way. This place is next to Shuofang Dongcheng, so once the soldiers are used, this is the first line, and there should be many soldiers.

"There has been a secret order passed to the liaison officer of the special combat team through the flying pigeon transmission before, and the news that we will come has been conveyed to Governor Xia Shi Liu Min, Sima Liu Lan and others, since they have arrived, we will meet the two of them immediately." Xia Hongsheng said.

When we entered the gates, the line in front was very long, and the soldiers were very strict with the entry and exit checks, to the point where the spears would be stabbed together in the haystacks. Because of the rigor of the investigation, it took a long time for Xia Hongsheng and his party to finally take their turn.

Xia Hongsheng got out of the carriage and let them stick to the carriage.

"Are you all nursing homes?" One of the teams was finishing the wagon when he came down and asked the five or six men.

"Hehe, this team is positive." Qi Yong walked closer, raised his hand and clenched his fist in an instant, flashed Xia Hongsheng's seal letter in front of the team's face, and then said: "These are indeed my son-in-law's guards. ”

The team looked stunned, then took a step back, then nodded again, walked around the carriage, jumped out of the carriage to see, and then said, "Okay, let's go in." Next! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded at him, and then entered the city, the team was explaining to his subordinates to continue the strict investigation, and then he hurriedly walked behind the city gate, caught up with Xia Hongsheng and the others, hugged his fists and bowed and saluted: "The little one greets the adult!" The long history has already explained, the small one will bring the adult over! ”

"Okay, there's Lao on the team." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.

The team was still looking surprised with a look of surprise in his eyes, and he was surprised by Xia Hongsheng's age. said: "Don't dare, please come with me!" ”

The team was taking Xia Hongsheng and his party to the state government, and Xia Hongsheng didn't go in directly, in the end, he was on someone else's territory, not so arrogant, and he would be able to cooperate in the future.

Soon, the governor Shi Liumin, Sima Liulan and others, who received the notification, hurriedly walked out of the yazhong and welcomed Xia Hongsheng into the yaya.

"Your Excellency!" A person who followed Liu Min immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Xia Hongsheng: "Humble and meet the general!" ”

Xia Hongsheng stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "No need to be polite, you have done a good job during this time." Whether it is His Majesty or the generals of the DPRK and China, they all praise your performance. Now, you go and gather all the people who were left in Xiazhou City, I have a task to arrange. ”

"Humble duty!" The spy took the order, and immediately turned and strode out.

"Xiaguan Liu Min (Liu Lan), meet the general!" Liu Min and Liu Lan bowed to Xia Hongsheng together, neither of them was as good as Xia Hong's grade, not to mention that Xia Hongsheng was still a baron of the founding county, and it was they who bowed and saluted.

Xia Hongsheng pulled the two up and said, "Don't be like this, the two adults, since last year, thanks to the multi-faceted efforts of the two adults, there is a foundation for dealing with Liang Shidu now." The destruction of Liang Shidu was indispensable. ”

"Thank you, Lord Xia!" Liu Min said: "Lord Xia is talented, Lord Xia does not send a single soldier, and with just a few meticulous works, he can make the Liang Shidu army in turmoil." The so-called army strategy, Xia Dacai is within the strategy, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. ”

"Liu Changshi's praise is just opportunistic." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and asked, "What is the situation in Shuofang now?" ”

Everyone sat down, and Liu Min said to Xia Hongsheng: "Since last year, in accordance with Your Majesty's will, according to the plan of Lord Xia, the lower officials and others have ordered all the soldiers to capture the soldiers of Liang Shidu as prisoners, and appease the displaced people of Shuofang, and then put them back as counter-agents to separate their monarchs and ministers. He also sent light cavalry to ravage his crops, so that the grain reserves in the city were empty, and the soldiers and civilians of Shuofang starved. Later, the adults sent a detailed work to go deep into Shuofang, spread rumors, and the people's hearts were in turmoil. Master Liang all practiced the strategy of giving porridge and enveloping him, but he was broken by the meticulous work of the adults. Nowadays, Liang Shi thinks that he is evil in the mouths of the people of Shuofang, and it is rumored that he eats human flesh and cruelties to good families, and the people's hearts are lost. The lower officials and others also lured him with official positions, food, and money as the adults said, and the people of Shuofang kept doubting that the soldiers risked death to come out of the city to surrender. The lower officials and others settled their good students, and then asked them to contact their acquaintances and relatives in Shuofang City to persuade them to surrender. Now, the Liang division has sent troops to guard the four gates, and those who come out with or without orders are all killed, and the people's morale has plummeted, and the defeat has been revealed! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Yes, this time, Your Majesty ordered me to come here, and I am responsible for recruiting and surrendering the subordinates of Liang Shidu." Li Zhengbao, what is the new news? ”

"Lord Hui, since Li Zhengbao loosened his mouth, we have been in contact with Li Zhengbao, and now we are planning how to take his family out of Shuofang and force him to rebel." Liu Min replied.

Xia Hongsheng nodded, Li Zhengbao already had the intention of surrendering, and now Liu Min and others began to plan how to rescue his family in advance, these actions can lead Li Zhengbao to see sincerity. Second, it is also deliberate, I believe that there must be some untrustworthy in Shuofang City recently, but it has been mapped to Li Zhengbao's rumors, which has caused Liang Shidu to be estranged from Li Zhengbao, which is forcing him to rebel.

"The adults did a great job. Now, I have brought His Majesty's edict of surrender, and I think it can help Li Zhengbao strengthen his determination to surrender. Xia Hongsheng said: "However, in this way, it is indispensable to have direct contact with Li Zhengbao." Lord Liu, you are most familiar with the Shuofang area, if you want to contact Li Zhengbao, where should you go? ”

"There is a mound outside Shuofang City, and there is a small pavilion behind the mound, the location is hidden, and it is just right to be contacted." Liu Min thought for a while and said, "And there is a dense forest around, so you can hide the soldiers in case of accidents." If the adults want to contact Li Zhengbao, the subordinate should take 500 soldiers to hide in the forest, if Li Zhengbao has two hearts, he can be captured and killed on the spot! ”

In history, Liang Shidu's subordinates did have generals surrendered, but I don't know if it was this Li Zhengbao, so it was indispensable to guard against people, and Liu Min's proposal was very good. However, I hope it doesn't happen, if Li Zhengbao is really killed, then he won't be able to play the value of his "anthill".

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Okay, I'm tired of Lord Liu taking me there first." (To be continued.) )
